Most such lists are simply wrong, and this one is no exception. Most of these can be debunked by a quick Googling.

The idea that town is the oldest word is just silly. Think about it. Putting aside the ambiguity of when English became English, how can a single word be the oldest? It must appear with other words that are equally as old.

Letter frequency varies with genre, so it depends what corpus you use to make the count. E is the most common regardless of genre, but Z is the least frequent in most styles of writing. Q is the rarest in general fiction, but Z takes the prize in journalism, religious writing, and science writing.

Other of the “facts” are incomplete. Many words have all the vowels in order, consecutive Us (the OED lists forty), can be typed with alternating or only one hand, etc.

There are many English words that have no exact rhyme. (Most words with antepenultimate stress do not, e.g., animal, citizen, necessary.) But the four listed all have rhymes, although the rhyme for orange is a bit of a stretch—it’s Blorenge, a hill in Wales.

I agree, for this reason I submitted the list on this forum knowing that your expertise would challenge the majority of these factoids. There are, however, a few submissions that have insignificant credibility, such as: W being the only letter in the alphabet with more than one syllable.

The credibility of the statement is boundless; its import is insignificant.

I don’t think “Go” would be technically considered a complete sentence, for it lacks a subject and a modal verb. Comparing “Go” to “I am” one would have to admit that “I am” seems more complete.

Sentences do not require modal verbs in order to be grammatical. Lots of sentences have no modal verb. (Like that last one.) The sentence “I am” has no modal verb either. Perhaps you meant “finite verb,” but in that case the sentence “Go” does have a finite verb (and nothing else).

I understand that the imperative “Go” the subject (you) and the helping verb (can) are implied, so I guess it’s debatable.

The sentence “You can go” is not an imperative, at least not grammatically. (Semantically it can carry the sense of a command, but grammatically it is not in an imperative form.) Imperatives in English do not have helping (i.e., modal) verbs.

The subject of an imperative in English is usually implicit; it need not be stated to be “complete.”

As I’ve probably said before I’ve never understood the orange rhyme one. My 1980 Penguin dictionary says orinj which rhymes with binge, cringe, singe, minge, whinge, hinge, etc. Maybe other people pronounce it differently but no one I’ve ever met. Is it a Word Myth?
